Episode 147 My skills are top-notch, but my swordsmanship is third-rate! (8)
The knife stuck in the pudding trembled.
A knife appeared out of nowhere. As everyone’s eyes turned towards the kitchen, Scarlett came rushing over.
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I made a mistake while washing the dishes.”
“Be careful. “I almost got hurt, didn’t I?”
Scarlett repeatedly bowed, saying she was sorry.
Rodelin and the others generously accepted his apology.
I thought it was a simple mistake, so it was a natural result. I tried my best to pretend not to notice and accepted his apology.
‘Maybe they weren’t targeting me in the first place?’
Yes. There’s a chance it could be someone else.
Rodelin is a descendant of a noble family, Luna is the last survivor of the Lester family, and Leger is the perfect prey(?) to hunt.
It is not at all strange that someone’s life is at stake.
“I’m sorry. “It’s hard to say that I’m a substitute, but I’ll provide you with the best service.”
Scarlett bowed and pulled out the knife stuck in the pudding rather roughly.
At the same time, he shot an evil look in my direction.
In Rodelin’s field of vision, only the back of his head is visible.
‘Yes, I see. ‘The target is me?’
I tried to deny it, but it seemed clear that I was Scarlett’s target.
‘Well, it was Charon who sent us here in the first place.’
But attacks like this will be difficult in the future.
This is because Rodelin’s insight is extraordinary.
If you throw away the knife again, Rodelin will be suspicious.
You can enjoy the course meal leisurely.
“Hmm, the appetizers are of such high quality. “I’m looking forward to appetizers.”
“I agree with Miss Luna’s opinion. I can’t believe that even a small bar can cook food of this high standard. After all, it’s an empire. “There are so many talented people.”
It was a time when we kept talking about various things.
“First appetizer. Lamb marinated in wine for three days and mixed with a secret sauce. “It will be very soft.”
Exclamations erupted from everyone’s mouths.
Color, scent, even plating. It was the kind of quality you would only find at a high-end restaurant.
“Mmmmm! Is this really soft? Melt gently!”
“The lingering scent of wine remains in my mouth. “That’s amazing.”
“Wow, it’s delicious…” … !”
My thoughts were the same as theirs.
‘Oh!? It felt like the words and sounds of ‘Mimi (美味)!’ were moving around me.
It tasted amazing even when I tried it again.
The strange thing is that the scent of the meat in front of Leger is stronger this time too?
But there were no complaints. Because what was in front of me was delicious enough.
“I should thank Zero-kun. “I can’t believe you told me about this restaurant.”
“Hehe, didn’t you say earlier that it was clearly a den of criminals?”
“Hmm! I haven’t completely let go of my doubts yet. “It only cleared up my doubts a little bit.”
“I’m full… … .”
Leger’s request for help came during the conversation.
Everyone brought a little bit of Leger’s meat.
The wine flavor is much stronger than what I’ve had.
After swallowing hard, I was about to reach for my fork.
Scarlett, who was in the kitchen, pointed out the window with her index finger and shouted.
“oh! “The phoenix symbolizes the bright future of the empire!”
“What!? where? “Where is it?”
Rodelin got up and headed to the window, and I quickly pulled my hand away.
Ting ting ting!
The three knives Scarlett threw passed across the plate and slaughtered my lamb.
It’s scary to think that my hand was there.
“this… … It’s a passing sparrow. “I must have misread it.”
“It’s a shame. “I wanted to wish the empire a bright future.”
Rodelin returned to her seat and sat down.
I thought as I put a piece of slaughtered lamb in my mouth.
‘But is this the person who will be called a jack-of-all-trades in the future?’
Although the method was crude, they identified us in a short period of time.
He eavesdropped on our conversations and figured out each person’s characteristics.
The person who is currently the most disturbing to Scarlett is none other than Rodelin.
‘Because they are quick to notice and react well.’
It was very easy to recognize Scarlett’s memorization.
That’s why Scarlett mentioned ’empire’.
He realized that Rodelin was a child who would not be able to come to his senses if he were an empire.
huh? Aren’t there Luna and Leger?
… … That’s what I mean.
I glanced in the direction where Leger was.
Rattling-.
Is it because it sensed an attack? Leger was shivering.
It looks like it wants to get into the box right now.
Instead of protecting me, you’re busy protecting yourself, so pass.
What is Luna doing? Our Luna, of course.
“Ah, it’s delicious. When is the next dish coming?”
… … I was obsessed with food.
I had my nose stuck in the plate and licked it with my tongue out of frustration, so I didn’t even notice that I was being attacked.
You pig bitch. Who am I to go through such trouble right now?
“oh! “The twinkling starlight that symbolizes the empire’s brilliant future!”
“What!?”
Ting ting ting!
“It wasn’t.”
“It’s a shame.”
“oh! That’s the empire… … !”
“where? “Where is it?”
After that, several battles continued.
Luna finally spoke to me.
“Tsk tsk tsk… … Zero, what’s going on? “Why are you holding the plate?”
“Hehe, it’s so delicious. “It almost makes you want to lick the bowl.”
“Oh, no matter what. “Protect the integrity of the company’s leadership, the integrity of the company.”
… … Luna, why don’t you wipe the sauce off your nose and tell me?
Ting!
I was lost in thought as I blocked another attack. No matter how much I thought about it, it was strange.
‘Why these childish attacks?’
It’s annoying, but not so much that you can’t stop it. Not threatening.
Moreover, childish attacks are attacks, but there is no way Charon would give such childish instructions.
There must be a good reason.
‘Tsk, are we going to have a brain battle? ‘I can’t even get a proper rest.’
He continued to use the plate as a shield to block Scarlett’s attacks.
I realized something was strange.
‘Trigger that causes an attack. It’s Leger, not Luna, right? ‘What happened?’
Now that I think about it, it was strange. Originally, good quality food should have gone to Luna, but she kept putting it in front of Leger.
Why?
There is no way Charon of the world could have misdelivered information.
‘Are you expressing your dissatisfaction with having Leger as a party member? Are you trying to see if you’re worthy of protecting everyone?’
You’re doing this for such a simple reason?
No, this is probably not the reason. There is another reason.
It was a time when I was getting a headache from the constant brain battle.
Squeak-.
Someone came into the bar. It was a person covered in black robes.
Immediately Scarlett came running out.
“… … Who are you?”
“Hmm, I came to eat.”
The voice is low. No, I’m deliberately lowering it.
‘Are you trying to hide that you’re a woman?’
It may be a rat planted by Charon.
I secretly tried using the [Information Window] skill.
[???]
No information appeared. It’s natural.
This is because the face is not visible due to the robe being tightly covered.
‘At least half of the face must be visible. Only then can you use the information window skill.’
I’ve checked this information before, but I tried it just in case.
If that woman were a gutter rat, she would be attacked back and forth.
It was a time when the tension was slightly heightened.
“get out.”
“yes?”
“No, please leave. “Today is a day that only guests with reservations are accepted.”
“Well, what is that… … !”
“now. Please leave.”
“Oh, no… … !”
Just like that, the woman in black robes was kicked out.
I thought as I looked at that.
‘Could it be Charon’s intention too?’
I’m really confused.
Charon, you bastard.
What on earth was your intention in sending me here!?
* * *
“Chiit! You’re kicking out customers! Does this make sense? “This is a very filling restaurant!”
A person wearing a black robe grumbled.
Judging by the tickling voice, it seemed to be a woman. She is a girl whose vocal cords are not yet fully developed.
Yes. A girl covered in a black robe. The identity is… … .
“iced coffee… … I have to help Miss Luna… … “I can’t do anything.”
It was Euridia. She is the third daughter of Count Rounter, a charming girl who is called a magical genius and loved by everyone.
Currently she is.
“We have to do something. A powerful enemy called Senior Rodelin has appeared. “Without my help, you will be pushed back unilaterally.”
… … Beyond supporting Luna’s love, she was passionately protecting it.
Yuridia bit her fingernails.
‘Zero clearly seemed interested in senior Rodelin. The senior also seemed a little shaken… … .’
Despite the friendly conversation late at night, didn’t Rodelin blush?
Rodelin of the world is blushing.
It is a major incident that would not be surprising if it were included in the student newspaper published weekly by Annwood Academy’s newspaper department.
‘It’s clear that something subtle has begun to flow between the two.’
I clearly remember him shyly handing me a restaurant meal ticket.
Pudduk-.
Euridia’s teeth were ground apart.
I feel like I’m going to explode just eating a meal alone, but to drag Luna along with me.
From Yuridia’s perspective, it was no different from inviting an adulterous woman to a couple’s dinner.
What on earth is going on in there?
‘Well, it couldn’t be like that outside of Luna’s line of sight…’ … !?’
It reminded me of when I got tired of romance novels and turned to affair novels.
A scene like that where they communicate under the table with Lady Jeongsil next to them.
When she remembered that Zero and Rodelin were sitting facing each other, Euridia’s suspicions deepened.
“I have to get in somehow… … “Is there any way?”
Yuridia was closely watching the movements under the bar window.
Someone was caught in her sight.
“huh? That person… … .”
Yuridia hastily hid herself.
I thought it would pass soon. But no. Surprisingly, their destination is right here.
It was a bar that Zero and his group went into.
“Miss, it’s right here.”
“Huh~ The exterior looks too shabby to be a good restaurant? Also, what is the name? ‘The first cup is a sleeping pill, the second cup is a netherworld’? “Isn’t this a bar?”
“Hehe, this place is a real restaurant. “It’s a hidden restaurant.”
“Well, that’s true. But Nanny, could you please refrain from laughing like that ‘huhu’? “I lost my appetite.”
“Do not worry. It’s such a great restaurant that even your lost appetite will come back. You can look forward to it, lady. “Hehehe.”
“… … It seems like it’s an infectious disease. “I will have to contact the Disease Control Center as soon as I leave here.”
“You mean an epidemic? This is just a very attractive tone. Anyone would think that? Huhuhuhuhu!”
Euridia couldn’t help but be surprised.
Not only because he was familiar with it, but also because he was a very famous person.
‘Why is Hero Lucia here?’
For your information, the fact that Lucia guides Zero’s group is information that only a very few people know.
It was partly because the nanny who had received Lucia’s request controlled the surroundings, but it was more because Charon, who was behind her, was strongly controlling the information.
So it was not strange for Yuridia to be surprised.
“Ugh, don’t get involved with that guy. “What is the age difference?”
“Hehehe, it sounds like it’s okay as long as there’s no age difference?”
“Well, that can’t be possible! “Is age the minimum requirement?”
“Hehe, age is the minimum requirement, but I like other things. “Is that what you mean?”
“Hey, hey…” … ! no! There’s no way I would like a guy like that! From one to the last. “You don’t like everything?”
“There is a saying that a strong negativity is a strong positivity. What you’re saying is that you like it from beginning to end. “As expected, it’s Zero-kun.”
“Oh, well! “I said no!”
Euridia overheard the conversation between Lucia and the nanny. Her head spun rapidly.
Judging from the conversation the two had, it seemed like the nanny had zero recommendation for him as a husband.
‘Say, one more love rival!?’
Yuridia could not help but be astonished.
Senior Rodelin alone is a formidable enemy, but even the hero Lucia participates in the war of love.
Besides, isn’t this a fight that can’t be won?
Family, wealth, honor, maturity, even size(?).
The only thing Luna has in her favor is her crazy cuteness. There was only one.
“Is this really a good restaurant? No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange… … .”
“Hehe, just trust me. “Your appetite will whet your appetite as soon as you open the door.”
“okay? If the nanny says that… … .”
Squeak-.
Just like that, Lucia and the nanny entered the bar.
To the bar where Zero and the others are.
Yuridia, who was watching that scene, couldn’t help but feel sad.
‘Lu, Miss Luna is in danger!’
There is no chance for Luna to win now. So he has to help himself.
As the Cupid of love!
Just like that, Yuridia rushed into the bar.
